Synopsis
A poem celebrating the importance of trees
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
From Kirkus Reviews
With so much going for it, this ought to be a winner: trees are close to all good hearts; Behn is a fine poet who deserves wider recognition; and Endicott's stylized illustrations, artfully combining Japanese references and precision with bits of realistic detail--all in gorgeous, sophisticated colors--are striking. But, unfortunately, Behn's quiet, unassuming little poem (copyright 1949; ``Trees are the kindest things I know,/They do no harm, they simply grow/And spread a shade for sleepy cows/And gather birds among their boughs'') is almost lost in the grandiose art, which sports with the visual images without ever conveying the ``kindness'' that is Behn's keynote. It's a nice poem, certainly worth remembering, but this edition seems extraneous. (Poetry/Picture book. 3-8) -- Copyright ©1992, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-- ``Trees are the kindest things I know,'' begins this picture-book version of the often anthologized poem, illustrated with pictures that have the precise look of botanical prints. While some of the verses are quite lovely, others are flawed by vagueness, sentimentality, or mundane images that contain no immediacy, no surprise. The paintings are technically well executed, and are attractive, in a remote kind of way. But they have a curious stillness that conveys an eerie quality that works against the subject matter and the intended mood. Try Arnold Adoff's In For Winter, Out For Spring (HBJ, 1991) for celebratory poetry in picture-book format that is both warmer and more vivid. --Lauralyn Persson, Wilmette Public Library, IL

Trees
Seller: World of Books Inc, Montgomery, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Endicott, James (illustrator). The Trees is the story of an American family in the wilderness--a family that followed the woods as some families follow the sea. The time is the end of the 18th century, the wilderness is the land west of the Alleghenies and north of the Ohio River. But principally, The Trees is the story of a girl named Sayward, eldest daughter of Worth and Jary Luckett, raised in the forest far from the rest of humankind, yet growing to realize that the way of the hunter must cede to the way of the tiller of soil.
